DANCING VORTEX
It was during a tour of Japan by the Paris Opera that i experienced my “revelation”,
when I was struck by the design and the symbolism of the HINOMARU (the Japanese national flag) as well as the spirituality of the ENSO.
Back in France, I began, through photography, artistic research to translate into images the emotions that I had experienced during my stay in Japan, and the period of introspection that followed.
It soon became clear to me that this work would find its most accurate expression in abstraction rather than in the figurative.
By 'choreographing' my Dancing Vortex, I offer a contemplative dive into the unknown and the impermanent, an encounter with universal forces, whose outcome will be perhaps a surprising inner voyage of discovery, punctuated by some distant echoes of a now forgotten original Big Bang.
